7 Brutal Lessons I Learned From Dating Women

As a man, dating can sometimes be it’s punishingly hard, almost unfair at times, and just when you think you’ve got the hang of it, you walk around a corner and get smashed in the face with a hammer. At least, that’s what my journey was like.

The worst part is most people think it isn’t bad for us. The moment I write an article like this, there is always some troll that wants to invalidate men’s feelings and cite men being evil and committing crimes throughout history — such a weird comparison to a man who just wants to meet a good woman in these crazy times we’re in.

Such empty bitter rhetoric with no solutions always drives me up the wall. I never understand how anyone would be okay with leaving negativity out there in the universe.

Dating for men is a wild ride, a roller coaster of emotions, experiences, and, if you’re lucky, a good dose of humility. But as the old saying goes, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and these brutal lessons have taught me invaluable truths about dating, love, and the mystifying, beautiful creatures that are women. So without further ado, here are the brutal lessons I learned about dating women.
